abstract="The German legal system - de lege lata as well as de lege ferenda - offers only a limited range of possibilities for the use of interlock devices. In addition to the voluntary installation, which seems feasible in special cases of commercial transportation of goods or persons and in the field of inland and coastal shipping, its use seems especially appropriate in the driving licensing law when re-granting licenses following the withdrawal. An alteration of the law, implying that interlock-devices be mandatory for all vehicles in the future, as a preventative measure, would be disproportionate and therefore unconstitutional. The specific application of the devices by the administrative authorities targeting the risk population of DUI offenders should be encouraged by specific inclusion of breath alcohol sensitive ignition interlock devices in the catalogue of possible limitations listed in art. 23 sect. 2 of the driving licensing law (Fahrerlaubnis-Verordnung).<p />",
